sweet... actually what i really need is someone who knows more than i do about installing a rollcage... i am straight gettin beat up by this thing... and to boot... if i even am able to drive my scion to the meet tommorow it will pretty much just have my seat and a dashboard in it... but i will prolly just bring my hachi rouku...

 

Is it an Autopower? I know the dash can be tricky w/ those (especailly the glove compartment usage after install). What areas are you having touble on?

 

umm mostly just gettin it in the car by myself and drilling the holes for the rear facing arms... its the same cage that tim has... so no invasive door bars... just mid chassis mostly...

 

It is deffinately a 2-person job first off, as far as drilling the holes, all the body pannels/seats are out is a factory brace in the way?

 

actually i am petrified to take out the side panels... i have taken out all the screws i can see and i keep yankin at them but i dont want to break them... i will admit on this one... i am prolly in over my head here...

 

I would call Victor or Steve in the morning and see if they can email you/ check and see how mancy and where the screws are holding in the pannel, and where they are.

BTW found this link on the site, might be of some help:

honestly i think it really all boils down to this single fact....

1) i would pay someone who knows how to do this in blood, by the pint, to come and help me... i am drownin in this install and its startin to really get to me.

all my other mods are takin back seat to this one and its taking me forever (5 days so far) and i am constantly second guessin what i am doing now... its freakin me out...

 

Good Luck dont know what else to tell ya bro

 

If you mean the plastic side panels inside the car I can show you how to take those off in about 10 minutes... catch me Saturday

 

erik (portland erik) you have officially been recruited to the cause... after the meet you can swing by and show me how to get those off of there... along with any other paneling that i cant get off... which is pretty much all of it...

 

Heard a rumor that someone else was coming down to help as well, if you don't get it I can come down on Sun. or next week and see if I can lend a hand. Don't think the project is too big, it isn't its just the frustation of being stuck. I bet you at one point you thought lowering a car was too tough @ one point, right?

We're here for ya don't worry we'll get it.

 

yeah i agree... when i first tried to put coils on my civic by myself i flipped... and coils are easier than springs cause there is no compressing and yada yada... but now i can knock out coils in no time at all (if people dont talk to me constantly and there are no sushi breaks)... and what rumor do you speak of? is this a surprise special guest that i dont even know about?

 

Just hard something about someone coming down to help that wasn't @ the M&G last night...let me know I think you still have my number, or I will try and call you later...

 

yeah i still got your number... i'll call you later and let you know how things are goin...

 

well here is my rollcage that is not done yet I know it looks uneven but its only bolted on the one side and its painted just cause I was in hot import nights Chicago and wanted it painted everyone one asked me were I get it how much I just said I built it and I don’t think I will be making more this cage will be a full cage front section and middle and rear as you can see in the second picture how its bolted down it removed the passenger seat belt at the bottom and made a piece that bolts to it and a piece off the cage so I didn’t have to cut out my side panels or anything only major cutting done was the carpet well questions just ask and this cage is going to be for looks meaning its not going to weight a lot at all it will help with the structure of the body tho.not for rolling over but TC’s are already good for that I hope!!!

 

wow bringin stuff back from the dead for sure.

But that looks really good man!

 

HOLY BUMP. but that cage is sick for sure.
